AWAocheng WeiQLQinyang LeiXYXiaomeng You

Key Points

  • To explore muconic acid as a renewable monomer for sustainable polymer materials.
  • Analyzed the properties of muconic acid in polymer production.
  • Evaluated the performance of resulting polymers in terms of functionality and recyclability.
  • Assessed environmental impact compared to traditional polymers.
  • Identified muconic acid as a viable renewable feedstock.
  • Showed that polymers made with muconic acid possess tailored functionalities.
  • Highlighted the potential for intrinsic recyclability in new materials.

Abstract

Future generations of polymers must not only originate from renewable feedstocks but also deliver tailored functionality and be conceived with intrinsic recyclability or environmentally benign end-oflife pathways. Muconic acid (MA),...
